Ok, compare E and A you'll see two major differences. First is "be" vs "is", second is "from sale" vs "from being sold". E is wrong on both counts.

In sentences like "He requires", "We ask", "The president direct", etc., you need to use verbs in their original form. It is equivalent to "should do" but "should" here must be omitted. So it would be "We ask that you type your post in small case letters", or "The president's directive that the weapons be sold to other countries is not right".
